Crime and Safety in Crown Hill
Monday, June 15th
7 PM – 8:30 PM
Journey Church basement
9204 11th Ave NW

You’re invited to join your neighbors and local business owners for a crime prevention and community safety meeting sponsored by Crown Hill Business Association and Crown Hill Neighborhood Association

Just today (Friday, June 12th) a car was stolen on 12th near 97th. Yesterday, an African American man was threatened with a knife and racially harassed at the bus stop at 85th and 15th. This is OUR neighborhood. We’ve had many other incidents including theft of residential mail, graffiti in both commercial and residential areas, thefts from businesses, gunfire, a stabbing, vehicles tearing up the grass at Crown Hill Park, drug use and dealing at the McAbee entrance to Carkeek Park, unsavory characters loitering in parking lots.

I think we’re all familiar with the neighborhood block watch program, but what further steps beyond increased vigilance can we take as a neighborhood (residents and businesses) to put the bite on crime, and make our neighborhood safer for all?

Find out what residents and businesses can do to best protect themselves and their property – basics review. Review of what official reports/statistics Seattle Police are receiving regarding our Crown Hill, Ballard, and city wide. Overview of some Ballard wide efforts and initiatives. What are we in the community seeing in Crown Hill?  Ground rules apply! Breakout discussion sessions focused on areas of input brought forward in the meeting. Learn what we can do to be better prepared, to have a better understanding of what we’re seeing in our area, and to be empowered to make positive changes for our community.
